Our commitment to sustainability

At Invest Northern Ireland, environmental sustainability is a core priority of how we operate. We are guided by our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Strategy and aligned with the ambitions of the Northern Ireland Climate Change Act.

We are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 or sooner, and we’re actively working to reduce our environmental impact through practical, measurable actions.

This includes:

  • Improving energy efficiency in our buildings
  • Cutting carbon emissions across our operations
  • Reducing waste
  • Promoting low-carbon travel

We also ensure that climate and sustainability considerations are embedded into our internal decision-making and strategic planning. By aligning our operations with both legislative targets and global best practice, we demonstrate that we don’t just support sustainability in business, we live it ourselves, every day.
